Iron Mountain has Incorporated ~ a
village. Norway win do the same, Iron
River done 50 long ago, and even she I'M
liant town Of Gladstone saw the necessity
~ doing SO. Why not Crystal Falls?
The answer il easy. Because there il a
lew citizens here who under one pretcxt
or another are against the project, and
those few find followers as queer as IL
may look. This paper has several times
undertaken to lay before its readers the
advantages TO be derived from incospor-
ating and viii at present mention but
lew and then invite any interested citizen
who has the welfare 81 this town at heart
Is invited To give their opinion regarding
this matter and II viii find space in these
columns. Some say il would increase
taxation. Well let us stop and figure.
Surprising there will be only ten saloons
left owing TO the five hundred dollar
license next spring, which il a very low
estimate. that would bring $4,000 into
the village treasury. Leaving out every
thing else, not counting in any other
receipts from taxation ON one mile square
which would be the limits Of the village
aud many other incomes from pcddIers
and other nuisances and the above sum
is more than adequate TO run this village
and make such improvements therein
that would be a lasting benefit and make
our property more valuable. II is esti-
mated that with the facilities this village
has, a sufficient plant Of water works
would not exceed the cost Of $4,000.
without burdening the taxpayers that
amount could be paid in two years.
Not figuring on electric lights and one
hundred other improvements which we
could have AS village, but cannot have
rs township. the one mentioned alone
would increase the value 81 our prop
erty ten per cent, would decrease our in-
surance fully ten per cent. and would en-
able us To get insurance in legitimate
companies. They shy, il would require
another set Of officers. That il correct,
but then why not select men 90 the office
that viii take interest in the office they
occupy and be- constitutions. We have
some such men, thanks bee 90 God, Co the
contrary assurances 81 professional
grumblers notwithstanding Let every
one ponder over this, then unite and
work in harmony and nothing but good
win follow.

IMPORTING CHINESE WOMEN.
Twenty of Them Have Trouble in
 Getting a FOothold.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-The conflict of opinion between Collector Hager and the United States Judges regarding the landing of Chinese on plea of previous residence. near ly resulted in 8 serious rupture between the executive and judicial branches of the Fed eral Government. Thirty Chinese women have arrived at San Francisco within the past twenty days and landing was refused them by the collector, On the ground that they were being imported for immoral purposes. All had been placed on board the City of Peking, which sailed for China. Friends of the wo- men obtained writs of habeas corpus direct ing the captain of tho steamer to produce them in court.
 Judges Sawyer and Sabin sat on the bench, but the women did not appear. Milton An dras attorney for the steamship company, said that the writs had been served, but when an attempt was made to bring the women to court deputy collector interfered and pre- vented them from leaving the steamer. Judge Sawyer then said.
 ssThe order of the Court is that these wom- en be brought to court at once. This order will be enforced with the whole power at the command of the Court. If the Custom House officials interfere to prevent tho order of the Court they do so at their own peril, and risk indictment for interference with orders of the United States Court"
 It was finally decided that the women should be brought into court at o'clock. At that time the women were brought into the Court room. They were remanded int the custody of the United States Marshal until the habeas corpus writs could be heard and decided

FLESH TURNED INTO STONE.
Remarkable Stories of Fertilization Occurring in the Bad Lands of Dakota.

Dakota is truly marvellous and won derful country. Not only wonderful in mineral and agricultural resources, but it abounds in geological formations that affords constant surprise and study for the student in this most interesting science. The Bad Lands, located sev- enty miles southeast of this point, have no equal in this country as receptacle for petrifactions of amphibious ami mals.
 The peculiarity of the soil transforms flesh into stone, but this power is not only confined to the soil of the Bad Lands, but exists ill many localities in the Black Hills. A case has just come to the knowledge of your correspond ent that has never been made public, and proves that many bodies buried in the hills have turned to stone.
 The case at hand is that of little son of Mr. Eugene Holcomb, prominent citizen of Rapid City. Some years ago the boy died and was buried in spot not set aside for general burying pur- poses. When the city grew and & cem- etery was selected, MT. Holcomb had large monument erected, and the de- parted disinterred. The family expect- ed when the shovel of the grave digger reached the casket 1t would need re- placing, and had made preparation to that end. The coffin was reached, and as the man endeavored to place rope underneath to twist it to the surface, he was surprised at it's great weight. Thinking it was the narrow, contracted hole that reduced his strength, he emade several more efforts, but only succeeded fov pelled to call for aid. Two men suc- casket, and with hard pull it was brought to the surface. An examina- tion followed, and upon deceased being revealed it was found that the body had turned, not as Scripture says, ''Dust to dust," but into solid rock. From a gentleman who was present and whose word can be relied upon, it was learned that the parentsinstantly recognized the child. The body had assumed dark brown color, the features slightly shrunk- en, and he compared it with the appear ance of a mummy. The eyebrows and hair were of lighter hue, while the hands looked perfect. It was the most singular sight he had ever witnessed, and only the sensitive feelings of the parents kept the matter from the news paper colomns. The body was again inferred, and now rests peacefully in the family lot.
 The strange transformation of this body is not the only instance recorded The few number of dead removed has not afforded sufficient opportunity to learn how common an occurrence this may be, but learned gentlemen tell me that when Gabriel blows his bugle, or the disinterring of bodies in the Black Hills becomes necessity, many bodies will be found turned into stone. The other instance related is that of Wild Bill, murdered in Deadwood by Jack Call ten years ago. Bill was buried on the mountain side, and the building of residences compelled the unearthing of the scouts bones. What was the surprise of his friends when they dis severed that the famous frontiersman was solid stone-petrifed. This rev elation may appear strange to Eastern readers but here 1t is an open secret.

"DOUBLESo 5
Somo Instances in Real Life Like "Dr,
 Jekyll and Mir. Hyde.''

s'me 1n'tfleei geEy and in Esa' Life Liko "Dr
 MT: Stevenson's astounding story of sDr Jekyil and MT. Hyde" has struck popular chord, In the story the doctor becomes, as he sees lit, the tall, fne-looking truly good Jekyll, or the small, ill-favored, diabolical dyde. Tn ms fine mansion he was Jekyll, q gentleman. In the mean barracks he was Hyde villain.
 This imaginary gift or power of self trans formation, IS utilized in Vice Versa, and other stories.
 The peculiar, and hence the fascinating, feature of such tales, lies in the idea of physical transformation. The discovery that men have been leading double lives has be- come an almost every day occurrence, as is so strongly illustrated in "Jim, the Pen man"
 There arc thousands of men in our commu- mites who are leading double lives. Men who pretend to be saints, but are sinners; Sunday school superlntendents, who turn out default dicted to strong drink; reformers, for ''what that is in it." The world is full of this double living, which indicates positive lack of char acter.
 In the learned professions how they thrive! Hear the lawyer demanding, in the name of justice, the acquittal of the client he knows is guilty; the preacher advocating in public 0 creed he priv vately decries Note the phys- elan professionally tied down to school he does not follow in his practice. There comes OO uo O pOSOIloI AuSCdllC6 Ol UQ1S OuDllclGV.
 Some years ago there was put upon the market proprietary remedy = Warner safe cure-a specific for all kidney disor. ders Prior to it's discovery there had been TO sure remedy for these disorders, which lead quickly to Bright's Disease, and other kidney, liver and blood ailments so much dreaded. The efficacy of the remedy was soon shown. yet because it was proprietary remedy the medical profession, as such, re. fused to recommend its use. Nevertheless Dr. Gum, of New York, practitioner of so great repute as to be independent of schools, declares ''the ingredients of the remedy are among the most valuable medicines of a,aa- teria medica," and says he knows the medi- cine is used by leading physicians, but they will not let their patients know they eni- ploy it.
 Dr. bio Lewis, who represented manful independence in his profession, and who was prone to decry all kinds of medicine, vet spoke in the highest terms of Warmers safe cure and said, were he a victim of any kid ney disease-and most diseases originate in such disorders-he should certainly use it. Thousands of less candid physicians secretly prescribe it in circles of their own
 Is it the fact that this double living. this moral duplicity among men is a growing evil, that makes this class of books so popu- lar!

Roasted to Death.

At Webberville, Mich, the cry of ''Fire p aroused the people shortly be- fore midnight, and they rushed from their homes to find the town lookup in flames. It was one-story wooden structure standing alone in an open square. Above the cracking flames cries were heard from an inmate of one of the cells. When the citizens arrived the doomed man was seen frantically beating the oars of his cell and crying for help. The people were powerless to rescue him, and in the presence of the crowd he slowly roasted to death. Some of the crowd made intellectual attempts to rescue him, but were driven away by the heat. The pale face and glaring eyes of the miserable wretch were framed by the black, unyielding bars of his cell door. Little by little he was forced back, but only when the bars be- came red hot did he abandon all hope of escape.
 The horror of the situation proved such frightful mental strain on the prisoner that he became insane. Tear ing his scorched clothing off, he dashed himself against the bars and grabbed the red-hot irons in the vain effort to escape. An odor of burned flesh psr- vaded the air and made many of the peo- pie sick. Frantically cursing the crowd for not helping him, the roasting man rushed madly around the narrow inclo- sure while the spectators stood rooted by horror to the spot. Gradually his cries grew weaker and he was seen to sink to the floor and soon all was over.
 The prisoner was Newhall Tyler, 3S years old. He had been jailed for strik- ing boy on the head. Tyler had been on spree, and the boy annoyed him. He fired the prison, hoping he would be released thereby.

MORE INDIAN OUTRAGES.
Robbing Settlers and Ranchmen
 and Killing Cattle.

BUTTE, Mont, Dec. 11.-A man who has been travelling through the Salmon River valley on business for his firm arrived here to-day, and his statement confirms the reports that have been made concerning the outrages by bands of Indians from the Neg Perces reservation. He says large parties of the Indians, known as the returned hostiles of Chief Joseph's band, have been rowing the past summer over the wliole of their former territory They have been seen and recognized by many of the resi- dents as the identical Indians who were en- gagged in the massacres of 1877.
 They have almost completely terrorized the few isolated residents of Little Salmon county. They lave stolen and robbed and appropriat- cd by force just what they pleased. They have wantonly butchered cattle on the range, and new beef hides have been seen in their possession. Hunters report that they have seen evidences of slaughtered stock around deserted Indian camps. Ranchmen have been robbed of their produce in open daylight, and have not dared to resist, as the Indians were in bands of ten or fifteen. and are always Squaw Creek, and threatened to shoot him unless he gave up his money. They went to the ranch of MT. McGlinchy, on the Little Salmon River, and took what they wanted. They insulted Mrs. McGlinchy, who was alone with her children, and she escaped by wading the river in the night. She walked ten miles to the nearest neighbor's on the road, and the whole country is up in arms over the actions of the Indians.
 These are only f, " instances of the out rages. They are roaming all over the coun- try, and settlers arc becoming alarmed. Thero is talk of organizing to protect them indisposed to keep the Indians on the reserva- flonS
